Catching Criminals with UWP

20 Jun 2017

This is a great article on how tuServ came to be - put together by Microsoft, with a focus around "Catching Criminals with UWP and Black Marble".

The Cambridgeshire Constabulary polices more than 1,300 square miles in southeastern England. Like other constabularies for nearly 200 years, it relied on a paper-based system to log and store key information, from officer reports to crime-scene photos to witness statements – a slow and inefficient way of working.

The Cambridgeshire Constabulary turned to Microsoft to help build an inventive new policing technology. And Microsoft partner and UK-based software developer Black Marble answered the call with tuServ, an intuitive, powerful and secure mobile Windows app.

First created on Windows 8, tuServ is now a Windows 10 app that leverages the Universal Windows Platform.

Whether police officers are using a Windows phone, tablet or laptop – or, in the future, HoloLens – they can access important databases instantaneously, write reports, capture witness statements and even record a crime scene through photos and video.
